THE SCIENCE BEHIND
THE DETECTION

Understanding the underlying technology helps agencies make better procurement decisions. Here is a plain-language explanation of each technology platform we integrate.

TECH-01CHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION

1064 NM RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY

WHAT IT DOES

Raman spectroscopy uses laser light to excite molecular vibrations in a sample. Each compound produces a unique spectral 'fingerprint' that can be matched against a reference library to identify unknown substances — without physical contact or sample preparation.

WHY IT MATTERS

Traditional chemical identification required laboratory analysis, taking hours or days. Handheld Raman analyzers deliver results in under 60 seconds, directly in the field. Operators can scan through sealed packaging — plastic bags, glass containers — without exposing themselves to potentially dangerous substances.

Non-destructive — sample is unaltered after analysis
No sample preparation required
Scan through translucent packaging
Identify solids, powders, gels, pastes, and liquids
1064 nm wavelength minimizes fluorescence interference
Analyze colored or impure samples
On-board library with 13,000+ compounds
WHO USES IT:Military EOD teams, customs officers, law enforcement, first responders, hazmat units
  • DoD JPEO DR SKO Program Approved
  • SWGDRUG Accepted for Presumptive ID
  • ISO 9001:2015 Certified Manufacturer

TECH-02NON-INTRUSIVE INSPECTION

X-RAY INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY

WHAT IT DOES

X-ray inspection systems project ionizing radiation through objects to create detailed images of their internal contents. Multi-energy systems can distinguish between organic materials (narcotics, explosives, currency) and inorganic materials (metals, electronics) based on their X-ray absorption characteristics.

WHY IT MATTERS

Non-intrusive inspection allows security agencies to screen cargo, vehicles, baggage, and personnel without physical searches — dramatically increasing throughput while maintaining detection effectiveness. AI-powered threat detection reduces operator fatigue and improves consistency.

Non-intrusive — no physical opening of containers
Multi-energy imaging for material discrimination
AI-powered automatic threat detection
High throughput — minimal operational delays
Spectral tomography for 3D analysis
Backscatter technology for surface layer inspection
Deployable in fixed, mobile, and handheld configurations
WHO USES IT:Border agencies, customs authorities, airports, correctional facilities, military checkpoints
  • CJIS Compliant (Linev Systems US)
  • SAFETY Act Certified (DHS)
  • Cyber Essentials Certified (UK)
  • PLATINUM ASTORS Award — Best Contraband Detection

TECH-03AI-POWERED SCREENING

COVERT WEAPON DETECTION

WHAT IT DOES

SmartCTS uses discrete sensor arrays — installed at entry points — to continuously scan individuals and their bags for concealed metallic weapons as they walk through normally. Advanced AI algorithms analyze sensor data in real time to identify threat signatures without requiring individuals to stop, remove items, or pass through a visible scanner.

WHY IT MATTERS

Traditional metal detectors create bottlenecks, require dedicated staffing, and are easily circumvented. Covert weapon detection operates passively, continuously, and without the subject's awareness — eliminating queues and reducing the security staffing burden while maintaining or improving detection effectiveness.

Covert installation — no visible security equipment
Continuous passive screening
No queues or traffic disruption
AI-powered real-time threat identification
Simultaneous screening of individuals and bags
Indoor and outdoor installation capability
Significant reduction in security staffing costs
WHO USES IT:Government buildings, stadiums, airports, corporate campuses, critical infrastructure facilities
  • U.S. Military Proven Technology
  • Decade of DoD Development
  • Commercially Available

TECH-04FORCE PROTECTION

BALLISTIC PROTECTION SYSTEMS

WHAT IT DOES

Modern ballistic protection uses advanced composite materials — including ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), aramid fibers, and ceramic plates — to absorb and dissipate the kinetic energy of ballistic projectiles and blast fragments, protecting the wearer from injury.

WHY IT MATTERS

The right protective equipment is the difference between mission success and casualty. EDI-USA's TAA-compliant manufacturing ensures that U.S. government agencies can procure certified equipment that meets NIJ standards, with customization options for specific operational requirements.

NIJ Level III/IV certified protection
TAA-compliant for U.S. government procurement
Modular systems adaptable to threat level
Lightweight materials for extended wear
MOLLE compatibility for equipment integration
Night vision and communication mount compatibility
Rapid deployment packaging
WHO USES IT:Military, law enforcement, SWAT teams, corrections officers, private security, VIP protection details
  • NIJ Standard Certified
  • TAA Compliant Manufacturing
  • Trusted by 50+ Countries
